Hi!

For some reason there are 3 scheduled scans on my computer. I only need one but can’t figure out how to delete the other 2. two are called “unnamed scan” and the other are called “full virus scan” How can I delete 2 of these?

Thanks,
Sandi

What avast version do you have installed, avast versions 17.3.2291 is the latest version. If you don’t have the latest version I would suggest that you downlaod the latest offline installation file. Download locations can be found here https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=179943.0. Now uninstall your existing installation and install the new avast version.

You can only delete custom scans that you created.

The default scans would remain, but if you don’t use them there is little point in removing them as they use no resources and only run when you initiate them.

Sorry, I forget to mention the version. Yes, I have the latest one.
